requirements for keeping fruits and

The experiment of the Kentucky
tobacco planters, in reducing their
acreage by voluntary agreement for
the purpose of increasing their profits,
seems this year to have been a sue

Carefully conducted experiments
OF the late Mr.. Mechi prove that
plants watered slightly daily dwarf
and often perish. while if the ground
above the plant is thoroughly soaked
twice a week the plant fourishes and
is helped.
The October reports of the corn
crop show that the deficiencies in the
West have been partly made up by
the Southern increase, so that there
will probably be three-fourths of full
crop, which is much better than at first
feared.
Mrs. Galceron, an Atlanta, Ga,
florist, claims to own the largest and
finest Marechal Neil rose bush in
America. 1t fills an entire building
fifty feet square, and can not be pur-
chased for $1,000. as it is source of
constantly increasing income.
"A Tennessee farmer whose land
was under mortgage and about TO be
taken away from him fell on his knees

The Cotton Crop.

The outcome of the season is disap-
pointing in comparison with the Sep
TENDER expectations, and a crop even
smaller than that of last season is re-

Arkansas, Texas and Tennessee the
drought cut short the yielding greatly.

BY far the most novel, convenient and
valuable business calendar for 1885 is the
Columbia Cicycle Calendar and Stand,
jus. issued by the Pope Manufacturing
Company, Of Boston, Mass. In this cal.
endar new departure has been made.
decidedly uniqne and different from any
previous attemp, in calendar construction.
The calendar proper is in the form Of q
pad, containing 3e6 leaves, one for each
day in the year, to be torn off daily, The
leaves are 81. by 2z inches, and . por.
ton Of each leaf 10 left blank for mem
orsnda, no arranged that the 4,memoran.
dunn blank for any coming day caii be
turned TO Immediately at any tin'e.l The
pad rests upon a portable stand, which
takes up but little more room than the
pad itself, and when placed upon the
desk or writing table the entire surface Of
the date leaf is brought directly. and left
constantly, before the eye. furnishing
date and memoranda impossible to be
overlooked. Besides the month, the day
Of tho month and the day Of the week,
the numbers OF the days Of the year past
snd 70 come are specified, and upon each
clip appears, a. in the previous Columbia
calendars, quotations pertaining TO cycling
from leading publications and prominent
writers on both sides Of the ocean. The
notable events in cycling are mentioned,
and concise opinions Of medical author
tiles: words from prominent wi,eelmen,
including those Of clergymen and other
professional gentlemen; rights OF cyclers
upon the roads; general cycling satisfies |;
records; the benefits Of tricycling TO ladies' |;
information about costumes; directions
for road making; and other matter inter
esting to the public. in general and the
cycler in particular, appear from day to
day. In fact II Is an effective, attractive
and fresh cycling encyclopedias, crowded
into convenient measure. A matter worth
stating 10 that all Of the paragraphs are
entirely new from previous years calen-
dars, and that. although there seems to
he but little when read from day TO day,
altogether the items would make a
medium-sized pamphlet, and, added to
